OpenAI is restructuring to merge the ChatGPT and Codex teams, with President Brockman officially taking over product leadership

According to Dynamics Beating monitoring, OpenAI has announced an internal executive restructuring, whereby ChatGPT, the AI Codex agent, and the Developer API will be consolidated into a core product team.

Co-founder and President Greg Brockman has officially taken over the company's product strategy while continuing to be responsible for AI infrastructure. Previously, he only temporarily held this position while AGI deployment lead Fidji Simo was on sick leave. In an internal memo, he stated that the product lines are naturally converging, and the merger aims to focus resources towards intelligent agents.

The heads of the core business lines have also been extensively reassigned:
• Former Codex lead Thibault Sottiaux has been promoted to Head of Core Product and Platform Team. He is currently leading the development of a super app that plans to integrate Codex, ChatGPT, and the Atlas browser into a unified desktop experience.
• Nick Turley, who led ChatGPT to over 900 million weekly active users, has been appointed as Head of Enterprise Product, completely exiting the consumer business.
• Former Instagram Vice President Ashley Alexander has taken over the consumer product division.

This product line simplification aims to focus on addressing Anthropic's competitive pressure in the coding field and to streamline the business structure for OpenAI's planned IPO later this year.
